t20 Ultimate Team

Five years ago, EA Sports launched FIFA Ultimate Team. A game mode that allows players to build their own team of players from across the world. It works very well for football, so why not cricket? Or more specifically, t20 cricket. Nearly a year ago I did a team of the week for the Natwest Blast. Last season I, somewhat retrospectively, rated all the players in the Blast and created Cricket Ultimate Team. Over the off-season, I've tinkered with it and expanded to the IPL, CPL (Caribbean Premier League) and later in the year the BBL.

The first 2 IPL Team of the Weeks are here. Take a look.
